Re: Rapid charger not charging. Gives a symbol that it is though.

There are 3 contact pins on the magnetic charger (which pins do what I have no idea [ie, +, -, ground] but they all need to be firmly connected to make the circuit complete. I press fairly firmly after the magnet snaps hold just to ensure proper connection.

In the past I have experienced the PlayBook's software thinking it was connected but no actual charging was taking place. I saw a yellow lightning bolt and everything but the battery level was decreasing at the same time. It wasn't until I pressed on the mag charger head to ensure proper contacts to the pins did I see the battery level start to increase. I now bring up the battery indicator on screen when I connect my mag charger so I can indeed see power levels increase before I walk away. Then I let the screen auto time out to off. That way I don't lull myself into thinking its charging and then come back to a dead PlayBook sometime later.

Also, make sure your pins are all straight and in a downward position to ensure proper contact.
